Deficiency of Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Brief summary

Purpose:Development of novel strategy for treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury using stem cell.

Detailed description

1. Purpose: Development of novel strategy for treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury using stem cell. 2. Subject: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury 30 patients * ACL reconstruction: 10 * ACL reconstruction + Human cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells and hyaluronic acid (Cartistem (TM)): 10 * ACL reconstruction + hyaluronic acid: 10 3. Hypothesis: Human Cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells can enhance healing between bone tunnel and graft in ACL reconstruction.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALhyaluronic acid

ACL reconstruction and injection of hyaluronic acid under arthroscopy.

PROCEDUREACL reconstruction only

ACL reconstruction only without any injection under arthroscopy

BIOLOGICALCartistem(TM)

ACL reconstruction and injection of Cartstem(TM), human cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell under arthroscopy.
